Burleson wants to retire a Lion and willing to work financially to do so

“We’ll see what happens,” Burleson said. “I talked to the coaches, actually talked to (general manager Martin Mayhew) upstairs today and talked about my value to the team, being missed on and off the field. I told him I want to retire here. He said he feels the same way.”

“The city loves me, the team loves me, so we’ll figure it out,” Burleson said. “I think it takes both sides to make that happen, and if anybody knows me it’s more about football than it is anything else. So without saying too much, I’m willing to work it out because I love this team and I feel like this is my best chance to win a Super Bowl before I shut it down in a few years.”

burleson is very important to this team. Personally, i think hes alot better than some give hime credit for.

I agree. His leadership/enthusiasm/effort is also a big bonus that not a lot of guys can match. He's still a great #3 option should he be 100% from his injury. Not a number 2 imo, but he can still step up and make plays.

If Titus learns to be 2nd fiddle to Calvin, we could have a deadly receiving group next year.

Calvin - Titus - Burleson - Broyles - Thomas

That's still damn good. Thomas should improve with an entire offseason to get use to the system and get some better chemistry with Stafford.

I would like like to see us add another big guy who can take some pressure off of Calvin, but we should definitely see some more 4 WR sets next year. And I guess Titus can be the one to take pressure off Calvin, he just needs to play every game like he did against the Seahawks. If you can routinely beat Sherman, you should be able to beat any CB in the league (especially when the #1 CB is on Calvin).

Very glad he wants to stay and very glad hes willing to do a paycutt. Nate is still a very reliable reciecer and an amazing leader. He was on espn a couple of weeks ago and i could tell he wasnt happy with how the season turned out. With him back i think that is a small step in the right direction.
